In my studio, I like to have control of my volume easily. I use a volume pedal. That way when I'm rocking out, and it gets to that killer lead part that needs to be just a little louder, it's one louder. You may say, well it's a studio, why don't you just make that track one louder.

The great thing about using my volume pedal is you can use it as an effect. The old fade in or fade out solo is cool. I also use an RP100 guitar processor which really makes the volume pedal essential. It allows me to control wah, volume, effect, wammy, vibrato, etc. Makes my guitar come alive.

And last but not least, the volume pedal is always great when your jamming along to a cd and you're just a little too loud, just kick it.

Anyway, not sure why I'm writing this...other than the fact that I just want to give my volume pedal some love. You should definately have one.
